PUPPP or prurigo of pregnancy

filxoxofilxoxo member
in 2nd Trimester

A couple days ago I started getting little bumps on my arm that were soo itchy! Only a few at first. So I thought, maybe bed bugs or something and I washed all my bedding. But now they're starting to appear on my stomach a little, my back, my legs, and more on my arms.

I read this article and I'm thinking this is what I have!

 I'm barely into my 2nd trimester, though, and everything I've read said it normally starts in the 3rd tri. If this lasts for the next 5 months, I'm gonna go insane. Anyone else having this happen???

    Pregnant woman produce a lot of yeast.  It could be a yeast outbreak on the skin. A lot of people I know have had this while pregnant. And they used monistat to get rid of it. Sounds like a joke but if thats what it is it works.

     I'll have to try that! I don't see my doctor for another week and I'm already losing my patience. Thank you!

    I don't know anything about  PUPPP but do you have a larger spot anywhere on your body?  Or have you been sick lately?  This summer I got this spot on my leg the doctor thought was some type of fungus, but then I broke out over my entire trunk, arms, and legs with extremely itchy spots.  I went to the dermatologist and it turned out to be PItyraisis Rosea.  It's worth a call or trip to the MD if your that uncomfortable.

    I really haven't noticed any larger than others. Also, they aren't really spots as much as they are little bumps. And I feel fine (aside from my awesome all day morning sickness :) ) I'm gonna see how rapidly it spreads but Im gonna try and rough it out a week till I see my doctor.

    I was just diagnosed with PUPPPs.  They started on my legs and then my belly and chest were covered with them and some on my arms.  They itch like mad.

    I had some sort of breakout in the cracks on my legs and it was awful around 12 weeks.  The doc thought it might be puppps but also said it could be yeast.

    i rubbed it with diaper cream (budroux butt cream) about 2-3 times a day and it was gone in 3 days :)  and it has not come back.... **KNOCK ON WOOD** haha

    I had it with my son. It was hell. That's the one thing I really hope I don't get this time. It started small in 2nd tri. By the end of my pregnancy, I was dependent on the anti itch cream the dr gave me.
